About Me
MUSIC CAREER
I am a singer-songwriter and licensed attorney based in the DC area. I have released one album, "Serial Love", as well as several singles, and have also written the soundtrack to the independent film "Portrait". Additionally, I was a guitarist for 10 years with the DC based band "The Players", who sold out venues such as the 9:30 club and The Howard Theater.
EDUCATION AND TEACHING
I graduated in 2010 with a Master Certificate in Songwriting & Guitar from Berkleemusic Online. I also taught guitar & songwriting at Capitol Hill Arts Workshop from 2014 to 2017, and now teach guitar lessons via Skype or Zoom. Additionally, I am the Founder and Facilitator of "Fierce! A Girls' Songwriting Workshop with Nila Kay". Most recently, I have created several courses for you to learn how to play guitar and write a song! Here they are!
In June 2022, I graduated from Mitchell-Hamline School of Law. Check out my article about music licensing that was published in Mitchell-Hamline's Cybaris IP Law Journal! I am also happy to announce that I passed the Virginia bar exam and am now a licensed attorney!! 🤩

In summer and fall of 2021, I externed with Molly Girl Music, LLC to assist in the preparation of sync licensing for film projects, research intellectual property ownership splits, assist in catalog administration and management, and provide intellectual property and copyright law legal research.
